The gods of the Internet has shined on us yet again today with leaked photos of Bang & Olufsen's upcoming BV9 LCD TV. We don't have the exact specs nailed down just yet but we expect the LCD to be slightly upgraded from the current BV5. What we do know is that this set is going to have a media center built-in along B&O uber-pricey scaler but we don't think 1080p, HDMI, and maybe even more size options rather then just 42-inches are out of question ether. As for pricing, our tipster phrased it best, "Pricing is exactly in line with a Hyundai Santa Fe SUV." Click on for more leaked pics that should tide you over till the official release info is dropped.

UPDATE: Looks like the Internet gods weren't so nice after all. The BV9 is going to be a 50-inch plasma and not an LCD. An insider is telling us that it has four HDMI inputs along with a slew of component and composite connections. The BV9 can control multiple sound stages and along with the Peripheral Unit Database, control non-B&O equipment. We apologies for the confusion.
oh my god, the Daleks!
Pricing should be at the same price, or slightly above that of the BV5, which was around $20,000. THis baby has a built in HD recorder, ethernet input, and a gazillion other inouts / outputs... as mentioned.
Re: The picture above with 4 Beolab 5 speakers: At $20,000 a pair, all that equipment is a bit over $60,000... Ugh... If I had that money to burn I'd buy those in a second.
B & O is not just eye candy... They last FOREVER and sound GREAT.
Specs, of course, for some of their products could be better.

B&O is Garbage.
No one can compete with Bose.
Bose is better than anyone else and always will be.
Period.
Wow, Bose? There incar sytems are good but they leave a lot to be desired when it comes to home use. I'm sure these are quite good, but for something less expensive and superb in quality I've not found anything better than Paradigm, which blows Bose out of the water or the living room for that matter...
I think you need to head over to your local magazine store and pick up a copy of sound & vision magazine...
No one beats Bose? You are Clueless.
Got no highs? Got no lows? Must be Bose.
